1Password 8 will be electron, subscription only, and no longer support local vaults

It never is a mistake to look elsewhere and to have options. I do not care about electron, I do not care about the subscription. But the next funding round and the fact that we are talking about $6 billion now… And their vision for the future… I do not see myself there any longer. I am not IBM.

So, I gave Bitwarden a try. And… I might stick to it. It took me about an hour to move all my 1PW data over to Bitwarden (using 1PW7 that is) and to create folders that fit my needs in Bitwarden. Time will tell. I feel more comfortable with open source. And free (or $10 per year for the premium version) is not that bad, either…
